Our Review
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness (2021) is a action and horror series from Netflix. It has built a run of 4 episodes at roughly 26 minutes each. It premiered on July 8, 2021. Viewers rate it 6.2 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Is About
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is based around the stories of the two popular characters, Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield. By adding suspense into dynamic action scenes, this series will reveal a Resident Evil world unlike anything seen before.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 26 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 4 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its action/horror roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Nick Apostolides, Stephanie Panisello and Ray Chase to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Nick Apostolides, Stephanie Panisello, Ray Chase and Jona Xiao lead the cast.
Key roles include Nick Apostolides as Leon S. Kennedy; Stephanie Panisello as Claire Redfield; Ray Chase as Jason; Jona Xiao as Shen May.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, horror and science-fiction have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 6.2/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2021 and carried by Netflix with the series still ended, it lands hardest with action and horror viewers.
How Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Compares
If Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/horror lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Nick Apostolides and Stephanie Panisello doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/horror roots, It has held up since 2021 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and horror lane, at 4 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 6.2/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 6.2/10. Watch it if you want action/horror you can settle into.
